Donald Trump wants the world to know one thing: he’s not dead. So alive, in fact, that he fired off 42 posts in just 10 hours in what might be one of his most unhinged Truth Social rampages yet.
The late-night post-a-thon came after a four-day disappearance that set the internet on fire with conspiracy theories that the 79-year-old president had quietly kicked the bucket. The rumors weren’t exactly coming out of nowhere—he’s been seen recently with swollen ankles, bruised hands, and a gait that suggests walking isn’t as effortless as it once was. Toss in some signature verbal stumbles and, well, people noticed.
In response, Trump returned with the digital equivalent of shouting “I’M ALIVE!”—but instead of just saying it, he blitzed his Truth Social followers with dozens of posts, ranging from AI-generated superhero fantasies to rants about obscure Senate rules and landscaping mishaps at the White House.
One post read: “A big year ahead for the USA, maybe the BEST EVER, if the Tariffs are finally approved by the courts!!!”
Another veered into legislative weeds: “‘Blue Slips’ need to go, bad for the Republican Party, and our Country!”
And then there was the Rose Garden incident, which Trump recounted in vivid, bizarre detail:
“Three days ago, while admiring the stonework, I happened to notice a huge gash in the limestone that extended more than 25 yards long. It was deep and nasty! I started yelling, ‘Who did this, and I want to find out now!’—And I didn’t say this in a nice manner…”
He went on to blame a subcontractor, praise his own security cameras, and promise to “never let that contractor work at the White House again.”
This wasn’t just Trump letting off steam. Mixed in with the political gripes and half-finished thoughts were AI-generated images and videos that bordered on surreal. Trump as a SWAT team member. Trump as a cosmic overlord. Trump in front of a burning Earth with the words: “The world will soon understand nothing can stop what is coming.”
And then there was the post he linked to—twice—of an AI-generated video showing Trump morphing through the decades of his life, set to Alphaville’s Forever Young.
“THIS IS RATHER INCREDIBLE. WHO DID IT???” he wrote the second time, signing off “PRESIDENT DJT.”
Whether this was meant to be proof of life or just another Saturday night with Donald Trump and an iPad, it was weird even by his standards.
He also posted a fan-made AI video of himself performing Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’, a track that feels unintentionally ironic given the circumstances.
As for the persistent health questions, the White House says the president is just fine—mentally, anyway. His team maintains that Trump “exhibits excellent cognitive health.” Physically, there are some acknowledged issues, including chronic venous insufficiency, a condition that affects blood flow and explains the swelling in his legs. The bruised hands? The official line is aspirin and too much hand-shaking.
Meanwhile, Trump supporters flooded his comments with praise and promises of undying loyalty. Among the links he shared were articles from the Gateway Pundit and Daily Caller, one hailing him for “crushing crime in DC,” and another praising him for “skipping traditional August break to work on world peace.”
To sum it up, it was his version of a wellness check—and, in classic Trump fashion, he made it weird.
Dead? Definitely not.
Online? Yes.
Okay? That’s up for debate.
